    if you know the pitch of the thread, take it from the diameter.

    thread size - pitch = tapping drill size

    m5 - 0.8 = 4.2
    m6 - 1 = 5
    m8 - 1.25 = 6.75
    m10 - 1.5 = 8.5

    If I'd noticed your post a bit sooner you could have had a few of mine as I keep plenty of spares for the tapping sizes.

    Also thread diameter-pitch is only a guide ... hard materials will be easier to drill slightly (0.1mm) bigger. Since 6.75 is not standard you'll want 6.8mm or 6.9mm.
